Directions

Brown the ground beef in a large saucepan or pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, celery, and garlic and saute for 10 minutes.

Add remaining ingredients, except pasta, and simmer for 1 hour.

About 50 minutes into simmer time, cook the pasta in 1.5 to 2 quarts of boiling water over high heat. Cook for 10 minutes (al dente). Drain. Add the pasta to the large pot of soup. Simmer for 5-10 minutes and serve.
